The changes allow patients to use medical marijuana in nearly any zoning district, however caregivers can only grow marijuana in areas zoned agriculture only.

Under the amendments to its zoning code, Spring Arbor will allow:

• “Home use” of medical marijuana by “qualifying patients” or “primary caregivers”. There is no restriction to these uses in any zoning district in which dwellings are a permitted or conditional use. Qualified “home users” are allowed to grow or use a limited amount of marijuana for personal consumption.

• “Caregiver grow operations,” in which a single primary caregiver may grow and dispense medical marijuana for up to five “qualifying patients.” However, these operations are restricted to the agricultural zoning district.
